	OK, so I excluded the entire /home from backups and
also removed them from the already made copies, let's do the
other way around, please, if you want some scripts or
experimental things from your $HOME copied, let me know where
to look and I will take care of the rest. :-)

	This is probably due to the crontabs.

	I saw some errors from CRON, are you working on this?

	Yes, but all files that don't change don't hurt, after
copied the first time, they are just symlinked, the big problem
comes if the files are *totally* regenerated, but if it uses
some meta data or if it can be regenerated from material, then
there is no point in backing up the results, just the tools and
source files necessary to recreate it. :-)

	BTW, thanks for the overview. :)

	Christian, you use beep-beep.pl on a remote host with
screen+ssh?
